| This
site provides information for patients, their families, and
interested members of the public on a variety of common vision
problems and therapies. The material on the site has been reviewed
for accuracy and balance by panels of leading eye surgeons who
comprise the Eye Surgery Education Council (ESEC).
This site has sections on laser vision correction
(LASIK and similar procedures), cataracts, and glaucoma. Sections
under development include those on new technologies for managing
presbyopia, the age-related loss of the eye’s ability
to focus on near objects, and children’s vision problems
and their treatment.
The ESEC is an initiative established by the
American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS),
a professional society of ophthalmologists dedicated to raising
the standards and skills of surgeons through clinical education,
and to work with patients, government, and the medical community
to promote delivery of quality eye care. |
